A franchise that has had none in the draft lottery won Friday’s blind draw with Memphis, which means the Wolves get slotted for the third overall pick in the June draft and the Grizzlies the fourth pick, provided the lottery goes according to the odds.

That also means that the Wolves will pick no worse than sixth in the June 26 draft. They tied with Memphis for the league’s third-worst record at 22 victories after winning three of their final four games. That tie created the need for Friday’s blind draw.

By winning it, the Wolves also get a 13.8 percent chance at the No. 1 overall pick rather than a 13.7 percent chance.

Now, the question is: Can their luck continue?
